Stop lateral movement across your hybrid, multi-cloud environment
Unified platform for visibility, policy, and enforcement — with or without an agent. Works across your data center, endpoints, containers, Azure, AWS, GCP, and OCI. No rip-and-replace, no new console.


Cloud adoption is universal. Cloud security isn't.
88% of organizations run production applications on public cloud infrastructure or platform services.
Of the top challenges organizations say they face or expect to face with cloud-native applications, security is the No. 1 concern.
Organizations with a mature Zero Trust strategy are 4.3 times more likely to report complete visibility into traffic across environments.
Why cloud native controls aren't enough
Visibility gaps, misconfigurations, and uncontrolled lateral movement leave your workloads exposed.
Cloud-native controls weren't built to cover east-west traffic - the workload-to-workload movement inside your environment.
Cloud migrations carry data-center-era access straight into the cloud. Attackers, including automated and Al-driven threats, exploit that gap.
Each cloud provider has its own console, so there's no single policy view across Azure, AWS, GCP, and OCl. Fragmented visibility leads to blind spots and inconsistent rules.
The Illumio difference
A complete, real-time view of your hybrid multi-cloud — every workload, every connection, every risk.
See your cloud clearly
Illumio simplifies cloud sprawl, constant change, and complex interdependencies. Get a complete, real-time view of every workload. application, and dependency across hybrid and multi-cloud environments. See misconfigurations, hidden assets, and unprotected pathways — and block unwanted lateral movement.

Contain risk, not innovation
Agility shouldn’t come at the cost of security. Illumio turns cloud complexity into control by giving you deep observability and automatically enforcing segmentation and least-privilege policies that scale. When attackers try to move, their paths are cut off instantly — without disrupting workloads or slowing down deployment.
Why organizations choose Illumio for cloud security
One platform to see it all, control it all, and contain breaches fast — across every cloud.
One console for east-west visibility and policy across Azure, AWS, GCP, OCl, and on-premises - not a separate tool and rule set per cloud.
A real-time map of every workload and dependency across your hybrid multi-cloud - so threats surface and get contained fast.
Label-based policy follows the workload through auto-scaling, redeployment, and IP changes - no manual rule updates.
Draft-view shows exactly which connections a rule would change before it goes live, so you're not risking an outage to close a gap.
As the first breach containment platform, Illumio isolates compromised systems instantly to stop lateral movement before it spreads.
As your environment grows, Illumio grows with you - providing unified visibility, control, and resilience across every cloud and workload.
Cloud east-west security: common questions
Straight answers on segmenting east-west traffic across AWS, Azure, GCP, and OCI.
Security Groups and NSGs natively control and segment cloud infrastructure - they don't provide the cloud visibility and risk exposure to model a sound workload policy framework. They don't simulate the impact of a rule change before you apply it. Illumio delivers that clarity by ingesting cloud-native data and building a map of application behavior and exposed assets. Then builds segmentation policies that can co-exist with native firewalls and security groups. Security is strengthened across your hybrid and multi-cloud environment.
Illumio Segmentation for Cloud taps the native tools already in your environment to see how apps, data, and workloads talk to each other. It collects object metadata and real-time telemetry for applications, data, and workload traffic across AWS, Microsoft Azure, Google Cloud Platform (GCP), and Oracle Cloud Infrastructure (OCI). Illumio uses that traffic to map how each app behaves and set policy. And because policy follows labels, not IP addresses, it stays accurate as workloads scale or move.
For teams running workloads across more than one cloud, the right tool is one with a single visibility and policy engine spanning every provider - not a separate console and rule set per CSP. Illumio enforces consistent, agentless, label-based policy across Azure, AWS, GCP, and OCl, and was named a Leader in the Forrester Wave for Microsegmentation Solutions, Q3 2024.
Lift-and-shift usually carries data-center-era assumptions into the cloud: workloads that could reach each other freely on-prem often keep that same open access after migration, because Security Groups and NSGs weren't configured to restrict it. Illumio maps existing traffic first, so you can see what's actually talking to what before writing or changing a single policy — then enforce east-west segmentation without redesigning the network.
Most cloud teams don't know how exposed their east-west traffic is until they map it.
Illumio builds that map in minutes.
